Air Fryer Sweet Potato Fries With Greek Yoghurt Dip
These air fryer sweet potato fries served with Greek yogurt dip are an easy-to-make side dish or air fryer snack recipe.
Not so long ago my parents gave us their air fryer before they started their full-time travel life. It is a kitchen gadget they used often and a regretful one to part with, however, until recently I have not been using it to its full potential.

AIR FRYER SWEET POTATO FRIES
We do not own a deep fryer. It is something I’ve always put my foot down about with hubby, even though he likes the idea of it with certain foods. We haven’t needed one in all these years, so we aren’t about to start.
However, an airfryer is a fantastic alternative for many kitchen appliances. Best of all… no oil needed!
So lately I have been having a little bit of fun trying out some different veggies and healthy snacks in the air fryer. The latest being crispy air fryer sweet potato fries (or sweet potato chips as we often say here in Australia) and an accompanying greek yoghurt dip for serving.
Ingredients
Sweet Potato Fries
- 500g – 1kg sweet potato
- Olive oil
- Seasoning of choice
Greek Yoghurt Dip
- Small tub greek yoghurt
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon French mustard
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
How To Make Sweet Potato Fries In An Airfryer
STEP ONE – Prepare fries by peeling sweet potatoes and patting them dry. Cut into thin fries-sized pieces. The thinner you make them, the crispier they will be.
STEP TWO – Toss fries with enough cooking oil to coat lightly and season until covered.
STEP THREE – Place sweet potato fries into the air fryer basket, making sure you do not overfill. You may need to do several batches, otherwise, they will not be crispy and some may burn on top. Cook for the recommended time. Each air fryer is slightly different. Ours is 10-12 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
STEP FOUR – While fries are cooking, mix all your ingredients together for the Greek yoghurt and stir well. Leave dip refrigerated until you are ready to serve.
Enjoy!
For a perfect pairing, try these sweet potato fries with my crispy air fryer coconut shrimp recipe. There is a sweet and sour dipping sauce recipe included that is equally as yummy with the fries as it is with the shrimp.

Recipe Variations
You can experiment with different seasonings for your sweet potato fries and your dip.
Paprika or chilli flakes are great if you want to add a bit of spice. Or for a sweet alternative, pumpkin spice or cinnamon is a great option too!
This is a fantastic appetiser when entertaining, a side dish for a main meal or a light meal or snack. Plus using the air fryer means it is easy to create enough for a single serving or for a larger serving.
We have a Phillips air fryer similar to this one, although it looks far cooler in the black!
If you do not have an air fryer yet, it is well worth the investment and there is so much you can do with them! Plus they make it easy to cook those dreaded chicken nuggets my kids enjoy so much!
The whole family will also love these easy puff pastry pizza scrolls in the air fryer too! Or if you love baked potato, try these stuffed air fryer baked sweet potatoes.
